Chapter 1565 The Truth About the Cheng Family (One More)

In fact, Xi Jiu had long guessed that Ruan Fengmian Yangliu had some kind of connection with the Cheng family.

Although the Ruan family didn't say it clearly, since the Ruan family and his wife returned to the imperial capital, they have been attacking the Cheng family's property. What they did was very secretive, and most people didn't find out about the Ruan family. But Xi Jiu runs to Ruan Qi's house every day, so it's impossible not to notice it.

Before, Xi Jiu only thought that the Cheng family and the Ruan family had enmity.

But I didn't expect that they not only had enmity, but also blood relationship. Ruan Fengmian turned out to be Cheng Bainian, the second son of the Cheng family who passed away 20 years ago.

Xi Jiu was a little shocked. But this emotion was quickly replaced by intense anger.

Twenty years ago, Xi Jiu was only seven years old, and had been raised outside the imperial capital because of poor health. He didn't know much about the grievances of the Cheng family when he was a child. But the events back then were too big, and when he returned to the imperial capital as an adult, he could still hear a lot of gossip related to the events of the year.

He knew that Cheng Qi, the head of the Cheng family, had two wives. The original partner, Liu Qiuyu, was born in a scholarly family, and she and Cheng Qi are in free love. Not long after the two got married, they gave birth to their only son, Cheng Bainian.

Logically speaking, Cheng Bainian should be the eldest son of the Cheng family. But he happens to be ranked second.

Because—Cheng Qi also has a first love outside, he and his first love have a child, Cheng Bosong, who is 20 days older than Cheng Bainian.

In other words, when Liu Qiuyu was pregnant, Cheng Qi's first love was also pregnant. When Liu Qiuyu was struggling to give birth with a nine-month-old stomach, Cheng Qi's first love gave birth to his eldest son.

And when Liu Qiuyu gave birth to Cheng Bainian and fell asleep in the ward, Cheng Qi's first love might also be in the same hospital, spending the common property of Cheng Qi and Liu Qiuyu's husband and wife, confinement comfortably.

Cheng Qi's methods are very powerful, he hid his first love and Cheng Bosong very well. Liu Qiuyu didn't know it, and brought up his son Cheng Bainian without knowing it.

It wasn't until Cheng Bainian was 20 years old that Cheng Qi officially secured his position as the Patriarch of the Cheng family. With power in his hands, he swaggered and brought his first love and Cheng Bosong into the house.

Since then, the world has been turned upside down, and the harmonious family that had pretended to be for twenty years was completely broken.

When Xi Jiu heard the Cheng family's gossip before, it always went in one ear and out the other. The private lives of wealthy children are too corrupt. Although Xi Jiu does not participate, she will not interfere.

But now, those gossips that I didn't care about before suddenly became clear in my mind. He thought of what happened to the Cheng family after Cheng Qi brought mistress and illegitimate child into the house——

Ten years after Xiaosan came in, Liu Qiuyu jumped off the building.

The cause of death was determined to be suicide.

Not long after Liu Qiuyu's death, the Cheng family released the news that the second son, Cheng Bainian, missed his mother due to excessive grief and died of depression.

And his wife, Lin Yan, also died in love.

At this point, the Cheng family's original first room has completely become history. Cheng Qi's first love, Fuzheng, turned into the wife of the head of the Cheng family. And the children she gave birth to for Cheng Qi also became the orthodox heirs of the Cheng family.

After Liu Qiuyu Yifang died, there were many rumors in the emperor.

Many people felt that the death of Liu Qiuyu's mother and son was unclear, and some people questioned - Cheng Bainian and Lin Yan died, what about their son?

That child is only eight years old, so it is impossible to die in love with his mother Lin Yan, right?

The Cheng family did not respond to these questions. Not only that, Cheng Qi also resorted to means, killing chickens to make an example of monkeys, suppressing all rumors with bloody means.

Since then, there has been no Liu Qiuyu in the imperial capital, nor Cheng Bainian, the second son of the Cheng family.

But the illegitimate son Cheng Bosong has become the orthodox eldest son of the Cheng family who is sought after by everyone.

All the past events of the Cheng family kept popping up in Xi Jiu's mind like yellowed photos.

His expression became colder and colder, and the stern light in his eyes seemed to kill someone.

If Ruan Qi's father was the deceased second son Cheng Bainian, then the news of his death was twenty years ago. And twenty years ago, his wife Lin Yan, now Yang Liu, was just pregnant with Ruan Qi.

Yang Liu was rumored to have died in love when she was pregnant with Ruan Qi.

Ruan Fengmian was also killed at this time.

Before the little girl was born from her mother's womb, accidents happened to her parents one after another. She was supposed to be the daughter of the Cheng family, but she was forced to live a fugitive life with her parents and elder brother.

Xi Jiu remembered that Ruan Qi had said before that if it wasn't for Nie Beilou, not only Ruan Fengmian and Yang Liu would have turned into a piece of loess long ago, even she would not have been born.

He almost lost his little girl.

And the instigator of all this turned out to be Cheng Qi.

Xi Jiu has never hated the Cheng family so much.

The Cheng family is a vicious family, and all they do is vicious. The Xi family and the Cheng family have disagreements, and they have been at loggerheads over the years. But even so, he didn't want to do anything to the Cheng family.

But now, he wanted Cheng Qi to die.

The hostility around Xi Jiu was getting heavier and heavier, and the surging energy in her body was like a wild beast, surging out of control.

Ruan Qi didn't expect Xi Jiu's reaction to be so strong.

She was startled, and quickly got up and ran over: "Jiujiu!"

The little girl called out in panic, and pulled back Xi Jiu's reason.

He raised his head and saw Ruan Qi's worry-filled peach blossom eyes, and his out-of-control energy gradually calmed down like a lion whose fur had been tamed.

Xi Jiu grabbed the little girl's slender wrist, stretched it hard, and hugged her into his arms.

Ruan Qi leaned obediently on his chest, with a worried expression on her face: "Jiujiu..."

"I'm fine." Xi Jiu rubbed her back lovingly, wishing to give her all the tenderness in the world, "Baby, I just love you."

Ruan Qi was stunned for a moment, it seemed that warm sunshine was coming in, and the flowers were blooming in the warmth of spring.

She pursed her lips, and the corners of her lips raised uncontrollably.

"Jiujiu, I'm fine. Although it was hard back then, I really didn't suffer much after I was born. My parents, grandparents, and master can all love me."

Ruan Qi didn't lie.

Twenty years ago when Ruan Fengmian and Yang Liu fled, she was still in Yang Liu's stomach, unaware of the danger her parents were facing.

Later, Yang Liu was injured and almost had a miscarriage, so Ruan Qi suffered a setback. But since she was born, she has never been wronged again.

Parents love her, grandparents love her even more, elder brother dotes on her, and master and younger brothers also protect her. Even the villagers of Qingyun Village regard her as their own child.

Ruan Qi felt extremely satisfied.

If she had to choose between the rich and luxurious life of the Cheng family and Qingyun Village, she would choose Qingyun Village without hesitation.

No amount of money can buy such warmth and happiness.

That is priceless.

Ruan Qi leaned in Xi Jiu's arms, talking in detail how happy she had been these years.

Xi Jiu listened quietly, feeling comforted in her heart, but at the same time, there was more distress and sourness towards Ruan Qi.
